Adoption

February28th – 1 John 5:11

1 John 5:11

Have you ever stopped to think about the great depth of God’s love for you? He loves you so much, He wants to spend forever with you by His side. That’s why He spared nothing, not even His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to give us the gift of salvation. This precious gift, freely offered to all who will receive it, serves as an unending source of hope in a world ruled by the Enemy, and filled with uncertainty and fleeting pleasures. Through the sacrificial love of Jesus, we are granted the promise of everlasting life, a reality made possible by His redemptive work on the cross. As we reflect on this profound truth, our hearts overflow with gratitude for the immeasurable grace extended to us by our Heavenly Father. For It is through His love that we are reconciled to Him, adopted into His family, and granted the privilege of eternity in His presence. May we each us lift our voices in praise and adoration, proclaiming the wondrous gift of eternal life made possible through the unfailing love of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

December 30th – Colossians 3:15

Colossians 3:15

When we receive Jesus as our Savior, wonderful things begin to happen. First, we become adopted members of God’s family. Next, the Holy Spirit enters and gets to work transforming us into the likeness of Jesus. He begins by softening the rough edges of our heart, and fills it with the joy, love, and peace of Christ. A peace we are to let reign in our lives, and a peace we are to extend especially to fellow Believers. And out of thankfulness for the grace shown to us, we need to show the peace of Christ to a world that is anything but.

December 3rd – Galatians 4:4-5

Galatians 4:4-5

Throughout its history, what Israel prayed most for was the promised Savior sent by God. And in His perfect timing, God answered that prayer by sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus came to give His life in exchange for ours. He became the perfect sacrifice and shed His blood to make us heirs to His kingdom. When we receive Christ as our Savior, we become adopted sons and daughters in His heavenly family. And as such, God promises to bestow upon us, “every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places of Christ.” (Eph. 1:3)

ph. 1:3)
